    Bought one myself and a second controller online after trading some games in the Tallaght store as they had none.

    Was dispatched today, so hopefully they arrive tomorrow, good service from CEX anyway!

    Go to the bargain thread on the xbox section of this forum, you might have to go back a few pages but IIRC, the best deals were in argos recently. oh, and if you buy a kinectless bundle, you can currently buy second hand kinects in CEX for 25€, a steal and a must have.

    CEX have already pushed up the price of the Kinect 2 to €28

    Funny, it was around €20 only a couple of weeks back and they probably couldn't shift them then.
    Now, it's coming out as an official standalone model and the market pushes the price back up (and they'll probably sell more).

    Yeah, weeks ago it had no market value. Now since the price has been announced it will steadily increase in price until launched here and then the price will go way up.

    So if anyone is buying a Kinect-less console soon now is your time to buy.

    Can you imagine how sickened you'd feel If you had traded it in? They were only offering 3 euros for it! - you'll get 6 now, handy if you want a big mac meal I suppose!

    Buy one now and sell it back in a couple of weeks and double your money :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    The Cex price of the Kinect 2 has gone up by a few euro, to €28. They must be noticing the sales of these has risen. I nabbed one there myself, don't even have a One yet but thought I better grab these while they're cheap & before Cex get wind of the retail price of them once they become available from MS.

    Edit - I posted this before seeing & moving the above posts from a different thread

    Can you buy the actual console of this site?

    Yes, but by the time you have paid for import tax and duty it will cost €343 plus shipping.

    You would be better off ordering the offer from Amazon Germany that was posted yesterday which will end up around €430 after shipping and tax adjustment with Destiny and Halo Master Chief Collection, plus you will have your warranty if there are any problems which is important as there are still a small number of units with bad disc drives being sold.

    Well decided to pick up a spare kinnect from CEX online, as no stock in Dublin stores I'll get it delivered to parcelmotel. I would gate for the kinnect to fail just outside the warrenty period and having to lash out €150 for a new one!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,505 ✭✭✭FAILSAFE 00


    CEX now only have 4 Kinect left in online stock.

    There is also a controller update in the Settings >> System >> Update controller if you are using the audio adapter. If you have the adapter make sure you plug your headset into it before updating the controller.

    Is Warframe any good?

    It's Free, but is it playable or just a mobile phone type game that tries to nickel and dime you with incessant micro transactions.

    No it's been out on PS4 for a while , looks like a mix of things like mass effect/destiny etc. Bad timing on it's release with Destiny out next week though not sure I want to commit the time to it.

    Amazon UK are giving away Destiny and the expansion pass with the Xbox One atm, £350 + tax adjustment
